Prevention is Easy, but They Can’t Do It Alone

Mosquitos, fleas and ticks all carry diseases that can seriously harm your dogs and cats. They can also lead to serious skin conditions and other health issues. Protecting your pet from these parasites is critical. Luckily, it’s also easy, and Banfield is here to help. As partners fighting parasites, we both have a job to do.

While your Banfield veterinarian will screen and test for infestations and diseases in our hospitals, you as a pet owner can learn the facts, get your pets tested and on a prevention plan, and stay current with the plan. Let’s do this.
